This idea is linked to:
Ubuntu Bob should replace the Gnome Desktop in Ibex
New category in Brainstorm: Strange
--------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see there are a lot of ideas (even other than just these two I linked my idea to) that demand a category "fun".
While I'm all for joke ideas or funny ideas or ideas that are just strange. I think they DON'T have any place on Ubuntu Brainstorm.
That's why I propose to make an parody community driven site called "Ubuntu Braindead" or something similar where this kind of ideas could be posted.
Like
Uncyclopedia is for Wikipedia or any Linux ranting blog or forum (like
Linux Hater and
Linsux...)
We all know that Brainstorms source code is open so if this would be realised we could use its code.
This site dosen't need to be connected or moderated by Ubuntu brainstorm moderators. It should be user moderated.
So there should be no worry that Brainstorm mods would be occupied by such stupid things.
Maybe an link would be OK, to prevent "joke" submission to Ubuntu Brainstorm.
If this idea would be generally accepted the site would need an server, it dosen't need to be an server hosted by Canonical or Ubuntu, if there are worries that it would eat up precious space that could be used for something else.
Please comment on what do you think about that.
I think this is the best way to resolve some who want to propose strange, fun or just stupid ideas.
